The #1 Secret Of Coupon Book fundraising
Fundraising is such an important part of who were are as humans. It is at the peak of it’s existence the opportunity to “GIVE” which is an instinct that every human possesses and a character trait that shines brightly in even the worst times of our existence.
At the local level fundraising is the wood glue that fills in all of the gaps that our society does not plan accordingly for or does not have the ability to provide.
This filling may be something as simple as a school playground that will last for 30 years providing wonderful memories and activities for thousands of children who will swing from the “Monkey Bars”. Or it can be something huge that happens in a families life that there was no chance to plan for like a disorder or disease.
Either way there is a need which has a physical cost associated with it and someone has to step up to the plate in order to make it happen. Now it is not unheard of but difficult, in many cases, for one person or family to bear the burden of covering many of these expenses to fill these gaps. Occasionally you will see a situation (or miracle depending on how you look at it) where a large donor comes along and everything is taken care of.
More times than not however you will need to take matters into your own hands and simply “Make It Happen”!
Fundraising To The Rescue
So, you have decided that you are going to “Make It Happen” and you are working through scenario’s to tackle the what, how, when and where of fundraising.
Surprisingly almost all fundraisers have a positive impact on any given group of people.
-
There is team building that occures
-
You get to know people that you may have never met
-
You have the opportunity to be apart of something larger
Last but least you are making a positive impact on the world in your own little way and all of these things are important in order to feel like you belong in this world.
Fundraising Options
After deciding that you are going to change the world you “Hit the Internet” and off you go searching through the 3,000 some odd fundraising possibilities. Your printer is humming there are so many choices and by the time that you are done you have gone through an entire ream of paper…
But now the hard part comes – what should we do?
One Fundraising Option That You May Want To Consider
You are going to be asking a few people to open their pocket books to support your efforts. In that process one of two things is going to happen:
-
You are going to be taking (which is ok some of the time)
-
Or, you will be giving
Let me explain by using two separate fundraising scenarios.
Scenario #1
You have completed your search and have picked a few fundraiser to have throughout the year. You make a good decision and choose a popular product to sell, which is the most popular type of fundraising, and start selling.
In this scenario the product that you are selling is going to sell regardless of the quality or type because people want to support your cause. Now they may put your product in a hole in the back yard until Halloween but they will never tell you about it.
Learn all that you can about fundraising with coupon books. They provide a great return and people have a great experience every time that they use the books which reflects well on your church, school, club, fraternal group, civic organization, or non-profit.
Scenario #2
You come across a Fundraising Coupon Book provider and determine that a dining and entertainment book would be a cool product to sell and hit the same road to sell the product.
However, if the Fundraising Coupon Book provider did a good job at explaining their program to you then you would realize that you are giving much more back that you are receiving when you hold your fundraising event.
Let me go into a little more detail since the real treasure is always in the details:
In an average Fundraising Coupon Book there is normally anywhere from $500 to $2,500 in savings which can normally be purchased for around $10 to $50 dollars.
With a normal fundraising product, I will not mention any names because that is just not polite, you are spending money but normally get very little in return.
As an example if 1,000 parents buy an average of $20 worth of product:
1,000 (parents) x $20 = $20,000 (direct loss to your supporters)
This normally comes out of their pockets so that you can make anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 dollars for your fundraising event.
The Fundraising Secret Is Revealed
With the average fundraising book worth $1,000 the consumer could expect to save around $1oo even if they only used a few of the offers in the book and forgot about it. So, let’s work through the same scenario and see how much you are giving back to your supporters by using Fundraising Coupon Books:
As an example if 1,000 parents buy a single book for $12:
1,000 (parents) x $12 = $12,000 (they spent $8,000 less than the last scenario)
By keeping 50% of the proceeds you have brought in $6,000 for your fundraiser – not bad… Now let’s go over the giving part of the equation:
If 1,000 parents save only $100 each by using only a few offers in the book
1,000 (parents) x $100 (in Savings) = $100,000 that you have saved the families that have supported your cause.
Now I do not claim to be a Rocket Scientist – but, which option makes more since for you and your supporters (the secret is out)?
